Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle accidents have been increasing over the last several years with the popularity of bicycle riding. Fortunately, many cities and counties are building bicycle paths but most bicyclists still occupy the roadway. Even the most cautious bicyclist can be seriously injured or killed if a motor vehicle operator is not alert and respectful to those on bicycles.

Just recently, in Minneapolis, a 61 year old bicyclist was killed when he was apparently headed to a nearby bicycle path when he was hit by a pickup truck. The bicyclist was crossing the intersection when he was struck by the vehicle which did not stop after the accident.

With winter approaching here in Iowa, that may not be much of a concern now. However, when spring arrives please remember to be as cautious as possible when you are riding a bicycle on public roads.Being injured in a bicycle accident or any other personal injury related matter can have a enormous toll on your daily life. You may have been injured to the point of requiring mandatory medical attention, high medical bills and not being able to do things you love like ride your bike.
